Betula Pubescens Var. Tortuosa

Black birch, scientifically known as Betula pubescens var. tortuosa, is a hardy tree native to the colder regions of Europe and Asia. It is recognized for its distinctive dark bark and its ability to thrive in challenging environments. This variant of the birch tree is often found in moist, well-drained soils along riverbanks and in boreal forests. Its leaves are oval-shaped with serrated edges, and it produces small, catkin-like flowers in the spring. The black birch plays an important ecological role, providing habitat and food for various wildlife species.
